Listing Connected Users
You can use the getConnectedUsers command with the serveradmin tool to retrieve
information about connected AFP users. In particular, you can use this command to
retrieve the session IDs you need to disconnect or send messages to users.
To list connected users:
$ sudo serveradmin command afp:command = getConnectedUsers
The computer will respond with the following array of settings displayed for each
connected user:
afp:usersArray:_array_index:i:disconnectID = <disconnectID>
afp:usersArray:_array_index:i:flags = <flags>
afp:usersArray:_array_index:i:ipAddress = <ipAddress>
afp:usersArray:_array_index:i:lastUseElapsedTime = <lastUseElapsed>
afp:usersArray:_array_index:i:loginElapsedTime = <loginElapsedTime>
afp:usersArray:_array_index:i:minsToDisconnect = <minsToDisconnect>
afp:usersArray:_array_index:i:name = <name>
afp:usersArray:_array_index:i:serviceType = <serviceType>
afp:usersArray:_array_index:i:sessionID = <sessionID>
afp:usersArray:_array_index:i:sessionType = <sessionType>
afp:usersArray:_array_index:i:state = <state>
sendMessage
Send a text message to connected AFP users. See “Sending a
Message to AFP Users” on page 142.
syncSharePoints Update share point information after changing settings.
writeSettings Equivalent to the standard serveradmin settings command,
but also returns a setting indicating whether the service needs to
be restarted. See “Using the serveradmin Tool” on page 48.
